I changed the VIP port to port 81, made apache listen on port 81, and
set the fallback to 127.0.0.1:800
IP Virtual Server version 1.2.1 (size=4096)
Prot LocalAddress:Port Scheduler Flags
-> RemoteAddress:Port Forward Weight ActiveConn InActConn
TCP 134.115.4.218:81 lc persistent 600
-> 10.50.48.11:7778 Masq 0 0 0
-> 10.50.48.12:7778 Masq 0 0 0
-> 127.0.0.1:800 Local 1 0 0
And that works, so ipvs isn't remapping the port all (i've got nothing
listening on port 800) - it's just being a transparent pass-through,
like for any non-ipvs managed ip:port.
(it's 2.6.18 kernel, specifically the 2.6.18-6-686 debian package)
Thanks for your help.
